A tremendous compellation of past and present history of gin.
A tremendous compellation of past and present history of gin. This work is inspiring, light hearted, and educational. Gaz has put together an amazingly influential work that every man or woman behind the stick will benifit from. This is a great read from front to back or just to pick up and peek through the pages. Gaz's wit and wisdom once again makes learning the craft enjoyable. From gin's creation (or where we think it may have come from) to the many wonderfull distillers who make it and to those of us who mix with it. Gaz has put it all together here in The Bartenders Gin Compendium. Just Buy it already! And please look at his other works as well!

Gin, the oft maligned spirit get's it's groove back
In "The Bartender's Gin Compendium" Gaz Regan has taken it upon himself to single handedly restore public sentiment towards gin. Long the favored spirit amongst the world's best bartenders, the general public seems to have a hard time getting past various unfortunate experiences they may have had with this product in their youth. After reading the casual and often lyrical manner in which Gaz recounts the history and lore of gin, it would be hard to imagine that even the most gin averse wouldn't have at least some curiosity about renewing their acquaintance with this fine spirit. Just the chapter on Old Tom gin alone is worth the admission.
